The
the
police
officers
before
this
meeting,
the
appointment
of
chief
donut
has
spurred
quite
a
few
people
over
the
last
week
or
so
to
very
specifically
tell
me
what
a
great
police
force
that
we
have
and
how
confident
they
are
in
the
great
job
that
our
men
and
women
in
uniform
do
for
us
and
not
that
I.
Don't
get
compliments
from
time
to
time,
but
pretty
much
everywhere.
I've
gone
I've,
gotten,
compliments
and
so
chief,
you
got
a
great
department
and
we
expect
great
things
from
you,
but
no
pressure.
E
D
B
B
G
I
think
the
proclamation
says
it
all,
but
on
behalf
of
our
community,
we
really
and
sincerely
and
from
our
deep
from
our
hearts
wanna
thank
the
the
City
Council,
as
well
as
the
mayor
for
being
so
kind
to
our
community
and
recognizing
this
wonderful
day,
which
is
a
long
tradition
with
us.
At
the
same
time,
I
simply
want
to
say
in
the
interest
of
time.
It
was
such
a
wonderful
view
when
all
the
officers
were
here
and
as
a
community.
G
We
are
extremely
grateful
to
all
those
who
make
this
city
a
wonderful
place,
all
those
who
serve
in
law
and
order
in
judiciary,
in
education,
in
city,
administration
and
anywhere
else
to
make
life
a
better
life
for
this
city.
For
this
wonderful
city-
and
the
rest
is
all
said
here
so
on
behalf
of
the
community
and
I
also
like
to
recognize,
they
would
just
stand
up
here.
All
these
youth.
G
Some
of
them
are
here
who
really
make
this
project
year
after
year,
a
wonderful
one
and,
as
you
know,
we
visit
with
the
police,
superintendent,
the
school
superintendent,
the
mayors
and
all
of
them,
and,
and
we
find
this
extremely
extremely
beneficial
to
our
community
and
to
our
youth
and
thanks
again.
Thank
you
very
much.
God
bless.
B
Next,
we
have
public
comment
and
just
to
clarify.
If
you
want
responses
either
for
me
or
elected
officials
or
some
of
our
appointed
officials,
we
have
a
mayor's
open
house
on
Friday
from
4:30
to
5:30
and
that's
where
we
can
engage
in
dialogue
and
perhaps
get
answers
and
problem-solve.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
you
to
just
address
the
council
and
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
read
these
in
groups
of
two
they're
really
only
of
four
here,
but
we
have
are
on
Nanay
and
then
Serena
fish,
Iran.
I
I
So
somebody
lost
the
war
on
weed
you,
as
a
council
really
do
need
to
expedite
the
buying
selling
and
growing
of
cannabis
as
soon
as
possible.
You
need
to
get
the
cops
to
leave
people
alone.
It
needs
to
happen.
It
needs
to
happen
before
January
1st
because
they
lost
the
war.
It's
come
to
an
end.
The
war
on
drugs
is
coming
to
an
end.
It
needs
to
stop
now
too
many
people
and
dogs
have
been
shot.
I
It
needs
to
end
people
smoke
this
herb
to
get
by
on
this
earth
in
peace
and
harmony.
It
is
a
holy
herb
to
many
many
different
religions.
It's
a
religion
issue.
It's
not
just
a
drug
and
I
think
that
if
you
guys
sell
liquor
in
all
of
these
stores
in
town,
if
people
can
freely
go
down
there
to
the
bar
and
get
drunk
drive
all
asleep
at
the
wheel,
puke
and
every
single
businesses
doorway
people
can
smoke
herb
at
their
houses
or
wherever
and
be
at
peace.
And
that's
what
needs
to
happen.
I
J
Unfortunately,
it
can't
be
today
because
there
are
too
many
questions
on
how
things
are
going
to
be
handled.
There
are
too
many
questions
on
banking,
policing
rulings,
management
of
the
businesses
who
can
get
a
license
who
can't
get
a
license.
However,
it
is
extremely
important
to
our
community
and
the
fact
that
we
are
stewards
for
25,000
additional
people,
students
at
our
two
universities.
It's
important
that
you
as
a
console
make
those
decisions,
not
a
task
force,
not
individual
people,
but
you
as
a
council
together
work
this
out.
It's
coming.
K
Thank
your
time,
I'd
like
to
commend
the
City
on
selecting
an
excellent
police
chief,
and
you
might
comment
that
in
a
former
life,
I
might
have
lost
it
sitting
in
this
room
with
all
those
police
officers,
but
I'm
very
glad
to
see
our
beautiful
police
officers
doing
great
work
here.
I
have
two
things
to
bring
up
first
as
they
as
consent
item
II.
K
The
consideration
for
purchasing
two
vehicles
I
understand
that
it's
through
the
Illinois
purchasing
contract
but
I
think
it's
a
real
shame
that
our
city
is
going
to
send
64,000
dollars
100
miles
north
instead
of
purchasing
from
one
of
our
own
dealerships,
where
one
of
our
salesmen
might
get
the
Commission
and
spend
it
here
in
town
and
I
just
hate
to
see
that
much
money
leave.
Despite
how
much
we
may
be
saving.
Where
are
we
really
saving
him?
Additionally,
obviously,
no
matter
your
opinion
on
the
passing
of
the
marijuana
laws.
K
Obviously
this
task
force
is
going
to
be
something
that's
going
to
evaluate
how
important
it
is
and
what
the
impacts
on
our
community
are
going
to
be.
So
whether
you
disagree,
whether
you
agree,
please
pass
and
get
us
the
information
we
need
to
make
the
right
decisions
and
find
out
how
we
can
maximize
revenues
in
our
area
or
I.
Think
a
lot
of
other
areas
are
turning
to
fear
and
rejecting
it
and
there's
a
lot
to
be
gained.
K
H
My
first
comment
tonight
is
regarding
Connect
transit
I
feel
that
they
are.
There
was
a
bus
today
that
was
1802
and
is
approximately
11
o'clock
this
morning
he
was
eating
while
driving.
Now,
if
that's
what
you
call
professionalism,
I've
got
news
for
all
of
you.
You
know
you
can't
text
while
driving,
but
yet
you
can
eat
while
driving.
That's
destructive,
driving
distracted
driving
is
destructive
driving
the
other.
The
other
thing
is:
the
city
has
plenty
of
money
to
give
Tim
Gleason
a
big
raise.
H
This
is
2019
29
years
later,
I
wonder
if
somebody
would
be
29
years
latent
in
the
property
taxes,
if
their
properties
still
be
there,
you
know
good
and
well,
they
wouldn't
Terry.
If
somebody'd
be
29
years
late
and
paying
their
tuition
to
Westland,
they
wouldn't
be
in
there.
They'd
be
long
gone
and
you
know
it
and
it's
amazing
that
city
administration
is
not
getting
any
bigger
weather
Tim
wants
Billy
there
or
not.
H
It's
amazing
that
before
Tim
we
all
we
had
the
deputy
city
manager
at
the
government
center.
Didn't
we
maybe
Tim
needs
to
give
up
part
of
his
space.
You
need
to
have
part
of
your
space
and
make
room
for
Billy
if
you
want,
if
Tim
wants
Billy
here,
either
that
or
shipping
back
to
Decatur,
where
he
came
from.
Thank
you.
B
B
B
N
B
B
O
I'm
gonna
vote.
Yes
to
approve
the
purchase
of
these
garbage
trucks,
but
I
have
a
question
because
on
the
bills
and
payrolls
a
charge
was
put
forth
by
Hanson
disposal
and
I'm
curious
as
to
how
Henson's
physics
fits
into
in
the
disposal
of
solid
waste.
Now
Jim
answered
the
question:
was
we
have
contracts
for
disposal
of
street
sweepings
and
I
guess
excavation
spoils
and
then
also
collection
from
residential
homes
that
are
that's
dropped
off
at
the
citizens?
Convenience
on
our
but
I?
Guess
what
I'm
asking
is.
O
P
I'll
take
a
swing
at
this.
The
on
the
Bullock,
the
city
takes
bulk
picked
up
at
the
curb
straight
to
Henson
bulk
dropped
at
the
customer.
Convenience
center
is
placed
in
roll-off
containers
that
has
picked
up
daily
by
Henson,
then
on
brush
the
city
takes
brush
picked
up
at
the
curb
straight
to
Henson,
but
then
brush
it
has
dropped
off
at
the
customer.
Convenience
center
is
consolidated
and
then
taken
to
Henson
by
city
staff.
O
P
Going
to
actually
take
part
of
that
question
Bob
if
you
would
Bob
the
assistant
public
works
director
will
stand
in
for
Jim
who's
out
for
training,
but
actually
there's
been
an
internal
discussion.
You
know,
and
it's
something
that
we
should
do
on
many.
If
not
all
things
a
customer
convenience
center
was
expanded
into
its
current
form.
A
couple
of
years
ago,
we're
at
a
point-
we've
talked
I've
talked
about
this
with
Jim
karch.
We
need
to
assess.
Q
Yeah
I'll
just
add
on
to
that
good
evening.
Everybody
we
have
seen
an
increase
in
the
use
of
the
citizen
community
center,
since
we
switched
our
bulk
waste
pickup.
We've
also
seen
about
the
same
amount
at
the
curbside.
So
it's
a
good
thing.
It
helps
us
maintain
our
city,
hopefully
as
you're
driving
through
you
can
see
that
we
are
getting
to
that
and
it
provides
a
beautiful
environment.
We
always
have
a
chance
to
renegotiate
or
to
bid
slightly
differently
when
the
contracts
come
up.
Q
I
don't
have
the
dates,
but
they
all
expire,
but
between
the
couple
that
we
talked
about
already,
we
have
three
or
four
more
other
ones
that
fit
into
the
solid
waste
program,
so
they
all
have
differing
vendors.
They
always
have
differing
end
points,
and
we
can
certainly
consider
whatever
service
level
or
philosophy
that
the
council
like
to
direct
us
in
you're,
welcome
any.
O
B
M
I
guess
I'm
just
going
to
ask
Bob
when
we
come
back.
Sorry
well,
yeah
I
just
wanted
to
echo
the
concern
that
was
raised
by
mr.
McCracken
on
in
public
comment
in
terms
of
why
we
decided
to
go
with
an
out-of-state
company
when,
when
there
were
three
or
four
bits
that
I
saw
that
were
in
state
and
neighboring
communities
and
then
just
make
a
comment
that
it
you
know
in
the
future
would
be
helpful
to
know
that
reasoning,
because
people
who
do
look
at
the
agenda
before
these
meetings
like
I,
have
that
question.
M
Q
So
we
follow
the
procurement
policy
for
the
city
Bloomington.
One
of
the
options
are
to
use
the
state
contract
beds
of
the
source
to
provide
the
most
economical
choice,
to
purchase
vehicles
and
other
things
alike.
I
know
that
there's
been
conversations
with
the
city
manager.
He's
asked
us
to
look
into
some
potential
changes
to
that
philosophy,
I'm
certain.
Q
It
will
work
through
that
with
legal
when
we
get
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
where
we're
going
through
that
with
our
fleet
department,
and
now
we
always
look
for
the
most
appropriate
way
to
be
good
stewards
of
our
money.
There
are
opportunities
to
look
a
little
differently
and
we're
going
to
do
that
in
the
future.
But
for
now
that's
this
is
the
most
economical
way
to
purchase
those
vehicles.
Keep.
L
L
D
B
P
Mirror
yep,
please
just
piggyback
off
of
comment
to
Bob
made.
This
also
was
an
internal
discussion
recently,
where
we're
going
to
take
the
additional
step,
offer
the
the
vendor,
the
local
dealerships,
an
opportunity
to
bid
our
vehicles
and
if
they
come
in
two
thousand
seven
thousand
dollars
higher.
It's
going
to
be
up
to
the
council
that
you
could
choose
to
stay
within
the
city,
but
oftentimes
you
find
municipalities
doesn't
mean
that
we
have
to
do
it
this
way,
we'll
take
the
state
bed.
P
D
B
You
thank
you
answering
your
question.
Counsel
number
blind.
It
does.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Now,
we'll
go
back
to
requesting
for
a
motion
on
the
item
presented
some
of
moved
by
Councilman
vacatio.
Is
there
a
second
second
by
a
councilmember
painter?
Any
further
discussion?
Oh
I'm?
Sorry,
oh,
oh,
oh
okay,
I
just
had
your
light
on
that
circle.
Okay,
you
have
two
it's
okay.
B
If
everyone
will
go
ahead
and
vote,
please,
council,
member
black,
how
do
you
vote?
Yeah
motion
carries
9
to
0.
There
are
no
names
to
announce
madam
clerk,
and
we
move
right
along
to
our
regular
agenda.
We
have
an
item.
Excuse
me,
an
item.
A
single
item,
item
8,
a
consideration
in
action
on
a
resolution
establishing
the
tan,
a
cannabis
review
and
implementation
task
force
committee,
as
requested
by
City
Council
and
again
this
was
a
City
Council
initiative
and
we're
going
to
turn
it
over
to
council
member
carrillo.
M
M
You
know
I
said
this
last
time,
but
to
me
this
isn't
a
replacement
for
conversation
with
constituents
or
other
council
members
or
staff,
but
rather
a
compliment
to
those
discussions,
I
think
in
a
more
structured
and-
and
no
you
know
again,
I
think
a
task
force
lends
legitimacy
to
the
work
that
these
folks
are
already
doing
and
are
interested
in
doing
so.
I
propose
the
task
force
consists
of
10
committee
members,
two
council,
members
to
law
enforcement
officers
to
business
owners
or
prospective
business
owners.
One
addiction,
specialist
and
three
community
representatives.
M
M
Come
on
clicker,
okay
and
yeah.
The
timeline,
as
we
thought
of
it,
is
to
have
a
appointment
of
these
members
as
soon
as
lawfully
possible
and
I
will
ask
Jeff,
maybe
at
the
end
of
this
presentation,
to
tell
us
what
that
timeline
could
look
like
or
maybe
Tim
can
tell
us,
and
then
October
21st,
the
Committee
of
the
Whole
meeting,
to
have
a
report
and
present
presentation
on
primary
issues
contingent
of
the
on
the
fact
that
we
could
get
those
folks
appointed
fairly
quickly.
M
But
for
those
who
are
not
familiar
with
what
the
legislation
that
was
passed
and
what
that
will
do
come
January
first
I
thought
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
just
a
very
quick
overview.
But
what
this
will
do
is
it
will
legalize
recreational
cannabis
for
residents
21
year
and
older,
and
it
will
allow
them
to
possess
30
grams
of
cannabis
for
personal
use.
M
Well,
you
know
the
legislation
is
like
600
pages
right.
So
it's
it's
a
it's
a
complicated
system,
we're
not
talking
about
just
dispensaries,
we're
talking
about
infusers
and
craft
growers
and
major
cultivators
and
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
have
to
get
figured
out,
and
each
of
these
is
going
to
get
rolled
out
under
a
different
timeline.
M
The
last
two
things
I'll
mention
is
a
the
bill
also
includes
a
provision
for
pilot
training
programs
at
community
colleges,
for
people
to
be
able
to
enter
in
this
new
industry
and
I.
Think
that's
that's
something
interesting
that
maybe
wouldn't
have
gotten
the
headline,
but
it's
something
that
we
might
be
interested
in
pursuing
and
then.
M
There
will
also
be
a
program
called
3
R's,
which
is
a
restore
reinvest
and
renew
which
will
provide
funds
to
community
groups
that
are
working
with
populations
that
have
been
most
directly
affected
by
the
war
on
cannabis,
so
I.
Think
again.
This
is
not
mean.
This
is
not
just
a
conversation
about
recreational
cannabis
use,
but
actually
a
major
piece
of
legislation
that
has
a
potential
to
transform
a
lot
of
the
neighborhoods
that
have
most
affected
by
this
issue.
M
It
goes
without
saying:
public
consumption
is
still
prohibited
and
is
restricted
similarly
to
alcohol.
The
last
thing
I
want
to
do
because
one
of
the
questions
that
came
up
a
lot
is
like.
What's
the
timeline
right-
and
you
know,
I
feel
a
great
sense
of
urgency
and
have
have
moved
a
number
of
different
conversations
with
folks
who
are
saying
they
need
answers
from
us
as
soon
as
possible.
M
The
the
licenses
will
be
like
accepted
and
they'll
be
processed
by
March
15.
This
is
all
per
the
bill
and
by
May
first
they're,
saying
that
they
will
have
approved
seventy-five
new
dispensary
licenses.
So,
as
you
can
see,
the
the
timeline
is
pretty
crunched.
Those
applications
need
to
be
in
and
it's
going
to
be
a
highly
competitive
process.
So
that
is
why
we
have
a
lot
of
interested
parties
in
the
community
that
are
looking
to
us
for
direction.
M
Maybe
you
have
heard
about
the
example
and
they
prevail
where
there
was
a
dispensary
who
sort
of
got
on
stack
to
get
one
of
these
licenses,
but
then
the
city
decided
not
to
allow
a
cannabis
related
business.
So
that's
the
sort
of
thing
that
we
don't
want
to
have
happen
here.
We
want
to
be
able
to
provide
business
owners
and
entrepreneurs
a
clear
direction
and
that's
how
we
build
a
business
environment
so,
as
I
mentioned,
I
do
think
that
there
are
primary
issues
secondary
and
tertiary
issues.
M
I
don't
want
to
get
into
the
minutiae
of
what
is
what,
but
I
do
think
that
some
of
the
most
urgent
questions
that
this
task
force
could
answer
is
how
should
the
city
allow
like
we
should,
should
the
city
allow
or
prohibit
cannabis
businesses?
That's
sort
of
the
simple
question:
are
we
going
to
allow
this
in
Bloomington?
How
should
the
city
regulate
it?
How
should
the
city
tax
it
and
whether
the
city
will
allow
on-site
consumption
at
cannabis,
related
business
establishments?
M
B
Things
I'm
looking
to
Jeff
just
to
clarify
first
of
all,
the
since
it's
the
first
part,
the
second
one.
First,
we
do
not
make
the
determination
of
who
gets
the
licenses,
and
the
other
thing
is.
It
is
the
case
that
the
Bloomington
Normal
metro
area
only
gets
one
more
I
mean
other
than
the
fact
that
an
existing
dispensary
can
add
a
dispensary.
There
can
only
be
one
brand
new
I've.
D
D
M
So
the
the
thought
is,
it's:
it's
divided
up
her
region
so
like
this
region,
the
Bloomington
so
Bloomington
and
surrounding
areas
would
get
one,
but
that's
all
supposed
to
be
done
by
May
1st
of
2020
so
beyond.
That
is
when
they
will
do
a
market
study
and
determine
how
many
more
licenses
they're
going
to
issue,
and
so
potentially
can.
B
L
B
This
is
just
a
attempt
is:
do
we
have
established
a
task
force
and
I'll?
Let
council
member
carrillo
correct
me
or
add
to
this,
but
do
we
ask
stablished
a
task
force
of
business
people
and
others,
an
addiction,
someone
with
an
expert
in
addiction,
another
group
of
10
people
to
help
study
and
vet
some
of
these
issues?
B
M
I
wrong
into
that
yeah
yeah
I
mean
I
think
that
the
purpose
of
this
was
to
provide
some
context,
especially
as
there
are
questions
about
well.
How
urgent
is
this
really
wanted
to
provide
some
context
for
what
is
in
the
legislation
at
the
state
pass?
That
would
inform
how
we
conduct
that
process
here
locally.
But,
yes,
the
question
on
the
table
is
just:
should
we
establish
a
task
force
to
look
into
these
things
and.
R
I've
carefully
studied
your
resolution,
which
includes
various
features
of
a
proposed
task
force
and
I'm
struggling
with
why
this
is
a
good
tool
to
get
us
to
consensus
as
a
council
that
is
elected
by
the
people,
an
award
basis
to
represent
our
separate
boards
and
bring
out
all
of
our
best
efforts
and
our
representation
role
of
those
groups
together
and
work.
An
issue
together
and
I'm
asking
that
not
for
an
answer.
I'm
asking
that
for
all
of
us
to
ponder
that,
because
this,
not
unlike
any
other
tough
complex
issue,
will
require
all
hands
on
deck.
R
R
But
that
would
have
to
come
about
with
the
approval
of
council
I,
don't
see
how
that
is
a
very
expeditious
process
to
bring
us
to
consensus,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
what
will
happen
in
Bloomington
will
be
what
is
approved
or
not
approved
by
the
City
Council.
So
the
hard
work
of
developing
consensus
among
ourselves
need
to
start,
and
it
needs
to
start
right
away,
and
my
I
would
say
to
you
that
we
have
a
process
in
place.
There
are
three
in
one
meetings.
O
I'd
like
to
read
from
the
IMF
or
sit
because
they
talk
about
bores,
which
this
would
be
and,
as
we
all
know,
it's
very
difficult
to
get
consensus
on
this
with
90
with
nine
table
here.
And
then,
if
you
add
the
mix
of
ten
more,
it
could
end
up
being
too
many
cooks
in
the
kitchen
and
trying
to
sort
through
everything
would
be
difficult.
O
While
some
can
be
quite
dedicated,
others
often
skip
and
miss
meetings
or
do
not
adequately
prepare.
Cominius
may
often
have
limited
or
singular
vision
associated
with
an
issue.
While
the
board
is
responsible
for
balancing
many
competing
demands,
which
is
the
council
is
responsible
for
the
big
picture
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
committee
members
may
have
hard
feelings
if
the
council
doesn't
approve
what
they
present
and
I've.
Seen
that
happen
locally
and
I'm
really
adamant
that
we
are
thoughtful,
methodical
and
careful
in
our
decision-making.
O
O
Concerning
how
many
dispensaries
there
are,
if
there's
only
one
or
two
and
it's
not
in
Bloomington,
eventually,
potentially
the
market
will
figure
out
how
who
gets
what
and
how
much
revenue
will
happen
in
the
as
far
as
a
three-on-one,
schoo
I
would
rather
have
the
police
department
and
Public
Health
and
the
business
community
come
and
present
everything
to
the
entire
council
rather
than
I,
want
to
hear
it
firsthand
I
want
to
I.
Don't
want
to
hear
it
through
the
grapevine
which
often
happens
with
a
task
force.
O
You
can
get
things
summarized
in
and
second
hand,
I
think
that
links
can
be
sent.
Articles
can
be
sent.
We
are
perfectly
capable
of
reading
information
ourselves,
but
even
stuff
that
comes
from
the
state
to
legislation,
lets
live
information
and
this
coming
Wednesday
I'm
going
to
be
attending
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
meeting,
which
is
addressing
cannabis
and
how
it
affects
the
local
businesses
and
I.
Think
that
true.
That
is
the
work
that
the
council
needs
to
do,
go
out
into
the
community
and
collect
that
information
and
discuss
things
with
the
business
community
at
large.
O
It
affects
everybody.
This
is
going
to
affect
everybody
and,
as
far
as
owning
is
concerned,
I'm
wondering
if
the
zoning
shouldn't
go
before
the
Planning
Commission
to
make
sure
we
brought
beehives
and
chickens
before
the
Planning.
Commission
I
think
that
cannabis
it
would
be
appropriate
to
go
before
the
Planning
Commission
to
decide
where
it
should
be
placed.
Should
it
be
placed
in
every
corner
or
should
it
be
placed
only
in
the
quadrants
of
the
city,
I
mean
those
questions
would
have
to
be
addressed
and
I.
O
N
So,
first
of
all
and
say
thank
you
to
council
member
carrillo
for
bringing
forth
the
the
idea.
I
think
it
certainly
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
think
about
the
kinds
of
things
that
need
to
be
considered
just
to
gives
you
a
little
bit
of
history,
given
my
eight
years
on
on
the
council
in
the
past
I'm
not
too
fond
of
task
forces
just
based
on
our
past
experience
I
when
I
go
back,
I.
N
Remember
that
at
one
point
and
some
of
this
will
kind
of
piggyback
on
some
of
the
things
that
you
know
others
have
said
already,
but
we
used
to
have
a
one
point.
We
have
smaller
committees,
finance
committee.
We
also
had
an
infrastructure
committee.
If
I
remember
and
at
some
point
we
disbanded
those
committees
and
decided
to
do
a
committee
of
the
whole,
because
people
preferred
hearing
the
same
information
at
the
same
time
rather
than
having
these
small
committees.
N
You
know
video
service,
I,
guess
so
that
that's
one
thing,
the
the
other
thing
that
I
think
would
also
be
concerning
is
that
you
know
whenever
you
have
too
many
decision
points
I
think
you're
going
to
have
too
many
opportunities
for
for
disagreement.
I
think
we
not
that
it's
bad,
but
it
can
make
the
process
a
little
bit
more
cumbersome.
N
I
think
we
heard
work
pretty
hard
as
a
council
to
to
come
to
a
point
where
I
a
CS
making
decision
in
a
way
that
is
a
lot
more
disciplined
and
and
I'd
like
to
keep
that
and
and
and
I
would
say.
You
know,
thanks
to
to
the
city
manager,
who
has
brought
an
approach
that
I
think
works
fairly
well
beyond
ones,
but
also
you
know,
committee
of
the
whole
for
for
everyone
to
to
hear
some
of
that
information
when
the
staff
thinks
that
it
is
ready.
N
So
you
also
have
to
think
about
the
fact
that
you
know,
but
at
the
legislature
level
you
know
I
mean
if
I
mine,
the
standings
is
correct,
that
they
do
have
quite
a
bit
of
staff
work
on
the
finer
details
of
whatever
legislation
they
have
a
legislative
Research
Unit.
You
know
that
comes
up
with
a
lot
of
the
different
things
that
the
legislature
is
going
to
have
to
consider
so
I
like
to
see
us
I.
Think
we've
done
that
with
video
gambling.
N
You
know,
although
in
a
smaller
scale
but
I'd
like
to
see
us
replicate,
you
know
I
thought.
Although
there
was
a
little
bit
of
controversy
with
via
gambling,
which
is
not
you
know,
we
can't
which
can't
be
avoided,
but
I
think
still
be
the
ultimate
product
you
know
worked
out
fairly
well,
so
I
think
that's
something
that
we
we
should
definitely
consider
and
I
would
also
echo
what's
been
said
already.
Is
that
when
you
do
have
this
is
where
my
preference
for
staff
working
on
it
comes
to
mind?
N
Is
that
when
you
do
have
volunteers
working
on
you
know,
issues
that
are
so
so
important?
You
cannot
always
guarantee
that
people
will
have
the
same
level
of
commitment,
whereas
the
staff
is
here.
You
know
40
hours
a
week
for
some
80,
but
I
I
think
you
know
there
is.
There
is
commitment,
there
is
accountability
there
and
we
can
always
go
back
to
them
when
something
is
not
working
properly.
Okay
and
they
can
be
held
accountable
by
the
city
manager.
The
the
same
cannot
be
said
about
volunteers.
You
know
people
come
and
go
and
they're.
N
You
know
their
life
changes.
So
that's
something
that
we
definitely
have
to
to
consider.
I
want
to
make
sure
I,
I
didn't
forget
anything
here
and
again
to
go
back
in
history.
No,
though,
no
to
me,
you
know
we
really
have
quite
a
bit
of
difficulty.
In
my
opinion,
I
didn't
hear
in
many
cases,
I
heard
negative
things
about.
You
know
how
things
worked
out.
We
previewed
the
task
forces
that
we
had
downtown
task
force.
N
What's
the
other
one
we
had
but
budget
task
force,
you
know
the
it
just
was
not
a
very
pleasant
thing
for
for
people
to
go
through
and
in
addition,
the
choices
I
think
that
there
will
also
be,
and,
as
you've
seen,
you
know,
we've
had
some
some
back-and-forth
about
the
choices
of
you
know
appointees.
You
know
for
committees,
so
that
I
think
it's
something
else.
That's
going
to
be
that
could
be
contentious.
You
know,
you'll
get
you
could
get
members
of
the
public
questioning.
Why
is
this
person
on
the
task
force?
N
Why
is
that
person
not
on
the
task
force
and
those
kinds
of
things
so
I
I?
Think
in
my
opinion,
it's
just
better.
You
know
to
get
us,
you
know
let
the
staff
work
on
it.
You
know,
and
and
and
come
up
with
a
a
because
they've
shown
at
least
some
on
you
know.
Looking
at
video
gambling
they've
shown
that
they
can
do
that.
So
I
think
I
would
prefer
that
we
let
them
work
on
it
and
then
well
then
we
get
a
chance
to
react.
That's
just
mine
yeah,
just.
B
Just
to
clarify,
first
of
all,
I
think
that
one
wouldn't
necessarily
preclude
the
other.
The
staff
is
going
to
have
to
be
involved.
There's
no
question
about
it.
We're
gonna
have
to
be
ultimately
the
people
who
make
the
final
choice
in
that
and
the
other
ones.
Although
way,
I,
don't
necessarily
think
I
agree
with
you
in
terms
of
characterization
of
the
two
task
force's
but
I.
Obviously,
the
differences
of
opinion,
I
council,
member
Mathi,
Jeff,
okay,
Jeff
and
then.
F
Thank
you
all
alderwoman
Carillo,
on
your
presentation
and
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
says
the
council
refer
back
to
a
couple.
Months
ago
we
passed
a
resolution
that
supported
connect,
transit,
creating
a
working
group
and,
and
some
of
us
have
attended
those
working
group
meetings
and
everyone
on
that
working
group
was
asked
to
be
on
there
and
they're
all
very
dedicated
to
what
they're
doing
and
we
we
decided
to
wait
on
what
they
did
before
they
come
before.
We
make
decisions
on
connect
transit.
F
So
we
have
supported
something
like
a
task
force
with
where
the
working
group
for
connect
transit-
and
it's
also
going
to
be
part
of
the
it's
going
to
be
subject
to
the
Open
Meetings
Act.
So
we
can
all
attend
that
we
can
all
be
up
to
date.
On
what
happens?
It's
not
going
to
be
anything.
That's
done
in
secret.
F
Also,
I
think
it
was
said,
I
mean
the
task
force.
What
they
do
is
doesn't
have
to
take
away
from
what
each
of
us,
as
as
council
members,
could
do
and
should
be
doing,
for
instance,
I'm
having
a
listening
session.
This
Friday
and
one
of
these
topics,
I'm
sure,
will
be
cannabis
and
and
so
I'm
proceeding
forward.
F
I'm
also
proceeding
forward
on
other
issues
that
are
concerned
to
me,
like
expungement
and
and
how,
as
a
community,
we
can
promote
that
and
I
know
all
the
older
woman
painter
you
sent
an
article
and
people
have
talked
about
the
many
questions
that
there
are
and
to
me.
That
makes
sense
too,
to
have
a
task
force
to
address
those
questions.
F
I
know
we
have
three
on
one
sessions
and
I
know
we
have
committee
of
the
whole,
but
if,
if
we
start
today-
and
we
expect
to
have
recommendations
to
us,
I
think
October
21st
we're
need
more
than
that
right.
We're
not
if
decide
not
to
have
the
taskforce,
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
everything
that
that
we
need
to
do
also
alderwoman
Boland.
You
mentioned
the
gaming
I
think
and
I
wasn't
on
council.
So
this
could
be
miss
speaking,
but
we
didn't
have
a
task
force.
F
F
S
S
Hi,
thank
you
so
I
wanted
to
basically
say
that
I
agree
with
many
of
the
things
that
Jeff
just
said
that
I
don't
think
that
the
task
force
and
having
a
task
force
precludes
all
the
other
work
that
I
think
that
we
should
be
doing
as
council
members.
At
the
same
time,
I
think
that
we
can
still
be
having
three
on
ones.
S
S
You
know
where
we've
heard
that
the
we
just
heard
from
Jeff
that
we
are
only
going
to
be
allowed
one
additional
dispensary
in
the
area
during
the
test
period
and
I
said:
I've
had
three
different
developers
at
this
point
who
have
approached
me
about
it.
So
I
guess
that
means
one
of
those
three
right
now
or
somebody
else
is
potentially
going
to
get
that
dispensary
license
and
I
would
like
them
to
all
have
an
equal
shot
of.
S
We
have
intelligent,
rational
decisions
that
have
been
made,
so
I
would
like
to
see
us
go
down
both
paths
of
counsel
doing
their
due
diligence
at
the
same
time
as
the
task
force
is
doing
its
due
diligence.
It
keeps
the
topic
moving.
It
forces
a
timeline
where
we
can
get
information
because
right
now,
there's
a
lot
of
things.
We
don't
know
what
we
don't
know.
S
The
only
thing
that
we
do
know
is
the
state
doesn't
know
much
and
that's
not
a
new
situation
for
us
to
be
in,
but
I'll
be
voting
yes
to
this,
because
I
think
both
things
can
happen
at
the
same
time
and
we
can
get
more
information
faster.
We've.
We've
relied
it:
we've
relied
on
our
committees
many
times
to
quote-unquote,
do
our
homework
for
us
and
go
out
and
find
information
and
bring
it
back,
but
we
have
never
felt
beholden
to
any
of
those
committees
to
do
exactly
what
they
recommended.
D
That's
that's
the
million
dollar
question
the
seven
degree.
There's
a
lot
of
prynt
balls
up
in
the
air
on
this,
but
I
think
councilmember
Kirill,
with
the
the
you
know,
timeline,
and
she
had
up
there
you
know
was
had
a
lot
of
good
information
on
it.
The
first
thing
that's
going
to
come
up.
Is
these
pre-qualification
applications
that
we
talked
about
and
I
think
that's
the
ones
that
will
be
available
in
October
that
they're
there
they're
not
going
to
be
decided
upon
until
next
year,
but
that
application
that
process
is
started
and
I.
D
Think
part
of
the
questions
that
they're
going
to
have
to
answer
includes
is
their
proper
zoning
for
this
business
so
right
away
we're
going
to
have
to
start
with.
You
know
the
zoning
questions
the
special
uses,
those
types
of
things,
so
those
are
early
on
questions
that'll
have
to
be
answered,
and
this
assumes
again
that
the
council,
you
know,
is
interested
in
in
permitting
this
and
allowing
it
and
and
not
you
know
strictly
regulating
you
know
it,
but
having
those
court
decisions
about
the
zoning
is
really
the
first
one.
D
Taxing
is
another
issue
that
is
going
to
have
to
be
decided
upon
fairly
soon,
in
terms
of,
are
you
going
to
enact
the
municipal
tax
that
can
be
placed
on
the
sale
of
cannabis?
So
those
are
a
couple
of
key
questions
as
far
as
what
I
can
tell
from
the
research
that
I've
done
in
the
conversations
that
I've
had
with
staff-
and
there
might
be
other
ones
that
you
would
add
to
that
list.
Those
are
two
key
ones
and.
M
D
D
Those
those
municipalities
that
are
adopting
that
are
utilizing
that
language
and
saying
they're,
prohibiting
it
at
any
location
and
they're,
declaring
it
a
public
nuisance
and
they're
prohibiting
it.
That
way,
I'm
not
sure
that
there
is
an
exact
time
frame
on
when
that
would
have
to
be
adopted
by,
but
that
that'd
be
something
I'd
have
to
look
at.
S
R
R
B
L
D
L
D
L
L
L
Come
tell
me
that
that
I
should
oppose
the
task
force
and
so
in
the
interest
of
transparency,
I'll,
just
kind
of
tell
you
what
the
same
thing
but
I
told
that,
which
is
that
the
way
I
look
at
this
is
this:
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
the
task
force
Bruce
Lee
reports
in
the
best
case
scenario,
that
is
wonderful
to
provide
us
with
lots
of
recommendations
in
the
robust
community
discussion,
that's
the
best
case
scenario.
For
me,
we
can
adopt
those
resolutions.
We
could
ignore
those
resolutions,
we
could
change
them.
L
You
know
we're
trying
to
get
this
back
in
the
table.
If
the
task
force
comes
back
with
no
recommendations
or
kind
of
muddled
information
or
things
that
are
not
helping
us
make
policy
decisions,
then
that's
what
it
is
and
we
can
end
the
task
force
at
that
point.
So,
for
me,
I
continue
to
hear
us
talk
about
how
we
can
better
engage
the
public,
and
this
is
a
new
and
unique
way
of
doing
it.
I
find
this
with
having
a
task
force.
Seeing
what
comes
back
more
information
is
always
better
from
where
I
said.
L
If
I'm
not
happy
with
ruskin
recommendations
or
I
disagree
with
them,
I
can
ultimately
ignore
them,
and
the
council
can
do
the
same,
and
if
we're
unhappy
with
the
task
force
itself,
we
can
end
it
in
any
point
in
time.
So
where
I
said
this
is
a
low
risk.
High
opportunity
task,
force,
I'm
excited
see
what
comes
back
and
their
work
need
to
be
done
on
our
end,
but
also
their
end
as
well,
and
always
look
forward
to
engaging
with
the
community.
I
need
complex
issues.
B
Or
anything
I
know,
there's
not
yet
no
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
I
didn't
want
to
cut
you
off
if
you
were
stopped.
Thank
you,
okay,
thank
you
and
then
just
to
clarify
in
terms
of
any
kind
of
appointments.
Anytime,
you
have
a
question
about
why
something
was
appointed.
You
can
always
direct
them
to
the
mayor.
It's
the
mayor's
fault,
okay,
council,
member
Peter.
Thank.
T
If
this
had
been
like
your
task
force
for
the
State
Farm
building
great
you
know,
I
am
very
interested
in
what
the
outcome
of
that
is,
but
to
go
down
the
road
of
another
task
force
formally
like
this
I
I,
just
I
think
it's
a
bad
idea.
This
is
a
job
for
our
staff.
They
need
to
dig
into
this
and
give
us
updates
periodically,
not
just
one
presentation
that
way.
We
can
steer
them
in
the
right
direction.
T
If
they're
going
off
in
the
wrong
direction,
the
staff
has
a
600-page
bill
to
dig
into,
and
a
writer
that's
coming
along
too
to
wrap
their
heads
around,
and
we
need
to
do
that
too.
Also,
the
IML
has
put
forth
a
lot
of
directives
on
this
that
we
all
need
to
read
and
discuss
amongst
so,
as
I
said
each
and
every
one
of
us
needs
to
delve
into
this
and
share
the
information
that
we
find
with
everyone.
Nine
heads
on
the
council
is
better
than
two
leaving
this
in
the
hands
of
an
ad-hoc
committee.
T
Meanwhile,
you
know
I
would
like
to
share
any
articles
or
anything
that
we
find
with
one
another
work
together
on
this
I
think
that
the
way
that
we
work
together
on
the
video
gambling
terminals
really
worked
out
very
well,
and
you
know
I
think
that's
the
way
we
should
go.
I
I
will
be
voting
against
this
okay.
R
So
as
I
sit
here,
I'm
not
sure
exactly
where
everyone
is
as
far
as
what
our
actual
number
will
be.
Yes
or
no,
but
it's
clear,
it'll
be
close
and
when
I
think
about
what
we
need
to
accomplish
with
the
this
cannabis
initiatives
and
all
that's
to
come
on
this
I
think
we
really
need
to
lead
with
our
strengths,
and
one
of
our
strengths
is
that
we
have
the
ability
to
enter
into
consensus
and
work
together.
R
And
again,
perhaps
there
is
a
time
when
some
very
focused
looks
at
certain
kinds
of
initiatives
that
are
going
to
be
part
of
this
cannabis.
Landscape
would
benefit
from
this
kind
of
activity,
but
we
are
we
not
there.
Yet
we
haven't
had
opportunity
even
sit
down
with
our
city
attorney
and
walk
through
the
materials.
As
a
group
that
we've
received
from
the
IML
I
think
that
would
be
beneficial.
We
need
to
take
the
opportunity
consents
around
whether
or
not
we're
an
opt-out
city.
R
I
mentioned
to
some
of
you
right
before
this
meeting
that
we've
learned
now
that
Naperville
will
be
an
opt-out
community
I
think
we
need
to
find
out
why
we've
looked
at
the
Naperville
in
the
past
as
a
city
that
maybe
had
some
good
ideas
that
we
could
implement
here
in
Bloomington.
So
I'd
like
to
know
why
this
city,
that
has
a
quality
of
life
for
many
of
its
citizens,
decided
no
to
cannabis,
and
we
have
unique
opportunity,
many
of
us
to
be
at
IML
and
have
some
discussions
with
them
this
month.
R
M
I
think
consensus
is
a
really
valuable
thing
and
I
appreciate
it
when
we've
been
able
to
work
together.
This
is
an
issue,
that's
important
to
a
lot
of
people
and
that
people
have
a
lot
of
mixed
feelings
about
so
I.
Don't
know
that
there
is
a
way
to
avoid
division
if
right
now
we're
having
a
conversation
about
what's
the
process
to
get
us
to
the
conversation
but
like
when
that
conversation
happens,
I'm
fairly
sure
that
that
division
will
continue
to
exist
because
of
our
varying
perspectives.
M
So
so
you
know,
I
would
echo
what
Scott
said
in
terms
of
you
know
having
having
all
hands
on
deck
and
having
more
information
to
get
us
to
a
point
where
we
can
make
an
informed
decision,
especially
because
we
are
not
bound
to
the
recommendations
that
would
come
out
of
this
task
force,
but
also
I.
Think
that
there's
like
a
philosophical
issue
at
stake
here,
which
is
about
like
who
deserves
a
seat
at
the
table
and
I,
appreciate
the
wisdom
and
leadership
of
everybody.
M
That's
around
this
table,
but
I
think
our
role
here
is
to
engage
everyday
people
are
residents
to
truly
be
a
part
of
the
process
and
not
in
lip
service
and
not
in
a
way,
that's
superficial,
but
in
a
way
that
is
real
and
I.
I'm,
not
scared
to
give
power
to
our
residents
to
help
inform
us
on
how
to
make
decisions.
I
think
that
that's
how
democracy
works
best
and
that's
what
I
was
elected
to
do
so
I
would
encourage
folks
to
reflect
on
that
and
I'd
like
to
move
that
we
approve
as
presented
okay,.
M
M
I
would
I
like
about
this
ordinance
is
that
it
includes
members
of
the
community
who
have
some
expertise,
that
we
have
some
content
specialists
who
will
weigh
in
I
wonder
in
the
question
about
whether
or
not
there
would
be
a
10th
person,
if
perhaps
someone
from
the
city
could
also
be
a
participant
as
well
as
potentially
even
do
some
co-chairing.
You
know,
so
there's
there's
more
of
a
sense
that
this
is
a
process
in
which
we
are
producing
a
document.
M
That
really
is
about
communicating
the
information
that
will
help
us
make
better
decisions
that
this
we're
going
to
be
introduced
at
a
meeting
in
which
we're
voting.
That
would
be
problematic,
but
it's
coming
before
the
committee
of
the
whole.
It's
coming
quickly
and
I
trust
this
council
to
be
able
to
have
an
informed
discussion
about
it
and
maybe
take
light
of
some
of
the
recommendations
and
bring
them
to
bear
in
to
solidifying
our
approach
here
and
as
well
as
considering
other
points
that
we
decide
now.
M
This
isn't
something
that
we
want
to
develop
into
the
ordinance,
the
consensus
that
we're
trying
to
build
I,
don't
know
if
I'm
allowed
to
ask
this,
but
is
it
it
I
know
that
that
whenever
we
we
vote
on
something
it
is
there's
a
recommendation
from
the
staff
and
then
this
is
no
different.
This
has
been
recommended
as
a
yay
and
I.
Don't
I
wonder
no,
that's
not
correct!
That's.
Why
I'm
asking.
B
B
A
B
Just
on
that
note,
if
we
could
note
here,
I
mean,
from
my
perspective,
I
would
say
that
we're
going
to
get
the
same
kinds
of
inputs
regardless
of
that,
but
this
does
seem
to
me.
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
say
to
be.
We
are
so
process
obsessed
on
this
and
we
spent
all
this
time
we're
extending
it
again
and
we're
going
to
get
the
same
kinds
of
inputs,
but
on
that
I
will
turn
this
over
to
council
member
bray.
Thank.
R
So
you
would
not
do
that
and
in
the
world
of
the
law.
You
don't
you
don't
do
that
with
something
like
this.
So
I've
heard
some
discussions
from
folks
about
they'd
like
to
hear
what
you
give
it
a
shot.
You
know
go
at
it
for
a
month
and
let
us
know
how
it
goes.
So
maybe,
if
there's
an
appetite
to
go
forward
with
the
task
force,
maybe
it's
a
60
day
window.
That's
we
established
for
60
days.
R
We
see
what
can
be
accomplished
and
then
we
decide
whether
or
not
we
want
to
read
up
with
a
task
force.
Secondly,
so
hold
on
to
that
jasmine
and
then,
secondly,
in
Section,
two
alderwoman
Korea
Carrillo
has
nominated
herself
to
be
the
chair
of
this
task
force
and,
with
all
due
respect,
council
member
carrillo,
you've
sat
before
this
body
and
told
us
that
you're
very
interested
in
developing
a
tourism
for
cannabis
here
in
Bloomington
and
I
just
questioned
whether
you
have
a
kind
of
neutrality
that
a
chair
for
this
kind
of
role
would
have.
R
B
D
So
this
can
be
a
minute,
then
it
can
be
amended,
like
any
other
ordinance,
a
resolution.
The
term
in
these
task
force,
we've
done
I-
think
we've
had
different
language
on
for
in
terms.
So
this
may
have
it
even
been
a
carryover
language.
I,
don't
I,
don't
remember,
but
it
can
certainly
be
amended.
Like
any
other
document.
D
J
S
Changing
a
little
bit
my
converse
say
my
question
was
going
to
be
to
Tim.
Is
you
know
in
order
to
keep
this
ball,
keep
this
conversation
rolling,
I,
don't
know
what
we
have
scheduled
next
week
for
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
I
was
wondering
if
we
could
add
this
to
that
committee
of
the
whole
and
specifically
maybe
a
review
of
some
of
the
proposed
documents
that
IML
has
put
forward
to
talk
about.
P
P
Yes,
we
can
do
that
if
it's
something
this
council
would
prefer
that
you
know
I
think
everybody
gets
the
IML
notices,
but
if
you
would
like
me
to
collect
those
and
share
them
with
everybody
in
one
document
with
several
attachments,
I
can
do
that
as
well.
But
if
you
tell
me
to
put
together
a
presentation,
I
can
put
something
together:
okay,.
O
O
O
Yeah
yeah
I
would
like
to
strike
out
a
specific
name
that
in
the
white
well
Baldr
person
Korea.
You
know
just
that
to
council
members,
you
know
without
a
name
because
you
will
be
bringing
them
forward
Anila
and
then
approve
them
and
and
also
the
the
end
point.
I
don't
think
it
should
go
on
forever
until
we
resolve
to
end
it.
O
And
the
third
point
is,
I
have
a
little
bit
of
trouble
with
potential
business
owners
being
on
the
task
force
because
of
a
conflict,
possibly
conflict
of
interest,
that
they
would
be
formulating
and
presenting
to
council
something
that
they
would
benefit
from.
So
I
would
like
to
amend
those
three
points.
I
don't
know
how
you
would
go
about
doing
that.
Thank.

Instead,
we're
looking
for
people
who
have
business,
acumen
and
understanding
of
how
business
works
in
Bloomington
to
give
guidance
and
input
without
regard
to
their
financial
Prestone
pecuniary
interest,
which
I
think
is
a
very
good
idea,
because
we
don't
want
a
conflict
here
with
this
work,
we
need
to
have
people
step
in
and
work
on,
these
initiatives
that
don't
aren't
predisposed
and
are
not
seeking
to
create
the
world
according
to
their
own
agenda.
If
I
can
clarify
that,
would.
B
B
D
O
Just
don't
want
to
any
any
optics
of
conflict,
much
less
reality
of
conflict
and
I.
Think
the
business
having
a
business
owner
also
brings
forward
his
perspective
with
use
by
his
employees.
You
know
won't
be
on
the
job,
but
you
know
at
home
before
they
come
to
work
and
I.
Think
that's
basically
what's
going
to
be
happening
at
the
Chamber.
It's
that
kind
of
discussion
that
will
be
happening
at
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
okay,
on
Wednesday.
M
B
M
A
B
P
B
B
P
You
Marion
Council
Scott.
Do
we
have
the
events
for
the
upcoming
week
or
two,
and
then
also
what
I
want
to
share
with
council
and
the
community
press
release
that
we
kicked
out
as
a
city
just
right
before
council
I'll
put
this
together
about
five
o'clock.
Public
hearings
regarding
us
for
consideration
for
downtown
State
Farm,
building
no
longer
anticipated
for
September
19th.
P
Let's
see
public
hearings
regarding
this
for
consideration
for
downtown
State
Farm
building
originally
anticipated
for
Thursday
September
19th
Historic,
Preservation
Commission
meeting
will
not
take
place
at
this
time.
They're
not
nominating
form
submitted
by
Greg
juice
has
been
withdrawn.
This
is
in
recognition
of
the
welcome
sale,
the
building
to
the
historic
building
redevelopment
company
Greg
crew
states.
In
a
letter
to
myself,
given
Friday's
great
news
regarding
the
building's
pending
sale.
This
is
absolutely
the
right
move
adds
myself.
P
It
is
the
city's
wish
to
support
the
sale
and
redevelopment
of
this
building,
however,
is
appropriate,
and
this
meets
that
goal.
You're
hearing
for
another
s
for
nomination
for
the
State
Farm
building
has
been
tabled
by
the
Historic
Preservation
Commission,
chairperson,
Lea
Cline,
pinning
the
building
sale.
The
Historic
Preservation
meeting
will
still
take
place
on
Sept
September
19
to
5:00
p.m.
so
the
Commission
may
consider
other
items
so
on
to
share
that
I
think
that's
good
news,
then
also
on
next
week.
P
Two
likely
going
to
put
together
a
Public
Works,
the
water
division
presentation
to
the
council
in
the
community
regarding
the
building
that
we're
proposing
and
be
replaced
after
the
fire,
Otto
Lake,
Bloomington
and
then,
lastly,
a
some
sort
of
cannabis,
update
and
I'll
be
taking
care
of
that
one
I'll
pull
together
everything
we
know
at
this
point
from
the
Illinois
Municipal
League,
it's
the
primary
source,
but
I'll,
look
to
others
as
well
and
we'll
do
that
on
Monday
night.
Thank.
B
You
thank
you
so
much
and
again,
thank
you.
Mr.
Gleason,
literally
the
day
before
the
announcement,
mr.
Gleason
and
I
met
with
the
head
vice
president's
estate
farm,
and
we
had
a
few
strands
of
hope,
but
not
a
whole
lot
and
then
the
heavens
opened
up
and
we
get
a
great
break,
and
this
is
a
wonderful
news,
certainly
for
our
entire
community.
But
in
addition
to
that,
excuse
me,
let
me
grab
my
glasses
here.
B
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
participated
in
the
festival
of
chariots,
which
was
yesterday
yet
my
seventh
time
participating
and
it's
just
really
a
wonderful
event.
I
would
highly
recommend
that
everyone
come
out.
At
least
it
has
been
in
the
last
six
years
in
Miller
Park,
and
this
time
it
was
not
hot,
whereas
it's
usually
in
June
in
July,
and
it's
hot
yesterday
was
the
perfect
weather,
except
for
the
fact
we
got
rain
down
a
little
bit,
but
other
than
that.
B
Please
let
me
know,
because
I
would
intend
to
do
this
very
very
quickly,
because
I
think
it
was
pretty
clear.
One
thing
we
agreed
on
as
a
council
was
this
needs
to
happen
fast,
and
so,
if
you've
got
people
and
or
if
you
yourself
are
interested
I
hate
to
say
that
only
because
there's
there's
two
slots
so
throat
would
be
potentially
seven
people
who
are
mad
at
me.
But
anyway,
if
you'd,
let
me
know
that
that
as
soon
as
possible,
I'd
appreciate
that.
So
that's
all
I
have
at
this
point.
S
S
Also
just
want
to
say
that
say
thank
you
to
everybody
who
helped
organize
and
participate
in
the
Labor
Day
Parade,
because
that
was
a
amazing
event
and
I
think
the
longest
it's
ever
been.
I
was
I,
got
to
carry
the
flags
at
the
beginning
again
and
I
walked
all
the
way
back
through
the
parade,
stopped
and
talked
to
many
people
walked
and
I
was
walking
home
and
the
people
at
the
end
of
the
parade
still
hadn't
started
moving
yet
so
I
just
thought.
It
was
like
a
perfect
day
for
a
parade.
F
Crate
Oh
Thank
You
marriages,
couple
things
on
September
18th,
the
small
Small
Business,
Development
Center
will
be
hosting
a
session
on
a
veteran
resource
workshop
on
helping
veterans
start
businesses.
So
if
you
are
a
veteran
OA
veteran,
let
them
know
that
and
then
I
will
be
having
a
listening
session,

I
mentioned
this
Friday

and
the
fishbowl

So

agenda
whatever
you
want

Thank
